Abstract

Hydrazone and disulfide exchange have been combined in a single system, but can be addressed independently: by adjusting the pH of the solution from acidic to mildly basic it is possible to switch from exclusively hydrazone exchange to exclusively disulfide exchange, while at intermediate pH both reactions occur simultaneously.
